I'm considering putting a note at the top of the script, something to the effect of...
[NOTE: Throughout this script, italics will be used within a scene to denote the change from a physical world to a "ghost world"]
Something like that.
The question is, when should a writer use notes? I figure it may be a good idea, as it may help prepare for the odd formatting. Then again, this may fall under the age-old "show, don't tell" mantra, and demonstrating the formatting change without spelling it out may be best. So, when is spelling out something like this a good idea?
Thanks
